johnsparky77 Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 use light line if possible, size 4 mustad 92247 (baitholder hook) half metre trace, and choose your sinker to be light enough to cast out just a few metres beyond or on where the bluer water meets the shallow water depending on where you fish. As a rule for me I tend to get some of the smaller fish when surprisingly I cast heaps further out, its as if the larger fish are game to come in closer. But keep moving along the beach if you get stuck with no bites or too smaller fish. And fish the twilight hours. Good luck Sparky77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOCCORTEX Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Your advice is spot on, from my experience. I havn't fished there, but have thought of it a few times. Gives me some food for thought. I've fished the runway bridge a number of times, ALWAYS catch something, but 90% undersized bream, keeps me amused I guess, and passes the hours. All go back in the drink, as they should. Guess I should add, I'd use a very fast taper rod ( say 10' plus ), and red beads, with the bait holder hooks.
